Can't wait for Mercure!

What's wrong with the idea of sexual offenders being castrated? I see nothing wrong with that as well. Just like every time you get caught stealing, you lose a finger. After your tenth time, you won't be able to steal would you?

For you people that disagree with castrating, let's have these animals live in your house with your kids for a year then.

WTMJ Radio 620 has made their biggest gaffe since September, 2009, when Phil Cianaciola was let go. Other than sports, I haven't listened to 620 since then. If they were shrewd, they could have teamed Phil with Gene Mueller, Bill Michaels, et. al., creating a clever, funny, and unique afternoon drivetime sound. Instead,the station continues on its biased, conservative, mean-spirited way. Thank God for Phil's podcast at On Milwaukkee.com, and for WPR, NPR, and WUWM.

The ”manglement” has made another serious blunder. The Green show is what made the afternoon drive time what it is. This “new approach” is going away from what us loyal listeners want. I will have to spin the dial to see what else is out there, the news anchor plan is not what the drive is all about, it is listening to A “Friend” on the radio. WTMJ does not have a personality and this is one more step to losing what they have left. I think they will see this at State Fair Park next year when the booth is vacant, and everyone will be going by looking for the popcorn and peanuts. I was hoping that they might consider taking some of the morning folks and putting them in the greenhouse slot. Another no personality show is not what this market needs. I bet the show will drop to the bottom of the list. If I want to listen to a news show, tune into WBBM Chicago, after you listen to that for a day you will go nuts!!!
